So?
Let them leave.
Pretty much anywhere they go they'll need to pay taxes.
They can't take the land, houses, resources, or infrastructure they're hoarding.
They're not doing us a favour, Trickle down is a lie.
If they're only staying as long as they can avoid contributing their fair share, why would we want them here anyway?
Either they contribute to the society that benefits them or they leave and free up their stash.
And even if said rich people were to flee for #TaxHaven|s that would not rid them of tax obligations outside of those...
Not to mention if said Tax Havens were to actually accomondate them and their servants they'd quickly raise taxes to finance infrastructure beyond the office centers used to host said shell companies.
"Corporations rely on the illusion of corporate personhood, using expensively crafted 'brand identities' to present themselves to us as having personalities aimed at making us feel an emotional connection--and like we're all in this together. But firms have no intrinsic virtues. They are not our friends. If a corporation is a 'person,' it's an immortal colony organism that treats human beings as inconvenient gut flora. It doesn't have a personality and it doesn't have ethics. Its sole imperative is to do whatever it can get away with to extract maximum economic value from humans and the planet."

Indeed. And a corporate "person" can also be created for fiscal motives at virtually the press of a button, in a #TaxHaven jurisdiction of one's choosing.
A real person cannot.
